We do not recollect an instance of a more com plete refutation of a calumny than that afforded by the reply of Lord JOHN RUSSELL to Lord STAN LEY on Monday last. The Noble Lord charged his Majesty's Ministers with pursuing a course in regard to the Irish Church of which they did not approve, and that they were driven into the adoption of the ap propriation principle in opposition to their own judg ment. It is scar'ely necessary to remark, that no one is so - ready to suspect others of insin cerity as he - who is conscious of being insincere himself. 'But the Noble Lord's memory played him a shabby trick on this occasion. In the mental tumult under which he laboured, the vituperative fa cultes gained a complete mastery over all the others. Ile forgot not only himself—that is too coinmon an occurrence to- excite observation--he forgot also all that had passed in the Cabinet of which he was a Member, relative to the appropriation principle. It entirely escaped him that his colleague, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, had then asserted the principle in its fullest extent, as that which should in future govern his con duct in the administration of Irish affairs. Had the Noble Member for South Lancashire been in a state of mind to cast a retrospective glance, even as far back as 1832, he would not have allowed himself to bring an accusation , which was capable of being so easily refuted. But who is it that thus charges Ministers with in... consistency ? One no doubt who is at least not ha ble to the same charge, himself —one, it must 'oe sup posed, whose official conduct has been marked by the soundest discretion, the most. undeviating steadiness of opinion on all subjects, and the most perseverir.gfirmness in carrying forward measures on which hef,,,,,,a come to a decision. We are sure, for instance, that lord STANLEY is not the man who on the great qu est ',on of Negro Eman cipation introduced into the licras e of Commona a Bill for remunerating the We. India slave-owners by a loan of fifteen million 9,, which he declared to be a most ample comPensr:tion, -and yet in less than a fort night converted :his loan of 15 millions into a (rift of ~, 20 millions? We repeat our belief that Lord STAN LEY cou l ia never have been guilty of such a thimble rig transaction as this. A Ministerial Morning Contemporary has thought proper to publish' a bungling defence of General EvANs's lay.; death-dooming proclamation, *, n th e shape of . P. letter to the Editor, signed * ny a person who writes himself " NUGENT ;vIAcNA MARA, Gth Ttegnent of Seots Gren:,(iiers:, We sincerely trust that Mr. MA CNANIARA is a better saldier than he is a logician, a lawyer, or a politician. If his performances in the ca-i - ip do not infinitely surpass his intellectual labours in the cabinet—if he flourish not the sword more doughtily than he drives th 3 quill —neither the service nor the country will, nave occasion to regret his retirement, should t).:, a t occur before the expiration of another week. Mr. MACNTANIARA traces the con duct of air 'ROBERT PEEL to party malignity, and thell tries to, get rid of the qubstion, at issue, by ob- Mining that a proclamation on the part of Don CAR LOS to put the soldiers of the Legion to death would not meet with such sympathy in the same quarter. That it may be seen we do not Misrepresent what 'it Would be ridiculous to dignify with the name of rea soning, we shall give his defence of General EvANs, and his exposure of the motives of the Tory party in Parliament, in his own words The ire of thew feeling and truly merciful senators was provoked at the threat of General Evans to punish deserters. The nerves of the faction were exceedingly shocked et wlu might take place by this order of the day being carried int•) execution ; not a word said, however, of the butchery (as notorious as the sun at noon-day) of many, many unfor tunate British subjects.. This question of policy their con sciences would postpone ad Grecas Kalendas. Ah, how plain can the cloven foot of party-spirit be detected, though it assume the disguise of a Portia! Through the veil of Tory benevolence how easily can the unworthy motives of faction be discovered! " Should the 'Nero of Biscay and his assassins continue their system of torture and murder to the whole of the British auxi liary Legion, 1 doubt, much whether any of their kind Toq friends would wipe away a tear ; ' but alas, when the .Ceie mander_of the troops fighting for the liberty of SiNain 'erd:y threatens a . retaliation, the circumstances,•aa xvp tett, bre greatly altered. Don Carlos, accorclitrg to iheitt political creed, may enjoy an indemnity for 'atrocity, anti perpetuate horrors at which human nature recoils with disgust—vet the British naval and marine force acting against him with the Le gion must not even threaten to repay him in the same coin. " The nature of Britons is, indeed, always against such a course ; but there is a limit to patience, and a verge over which a just vengeance is a virtue." _ _ Now'all this is stark staring nonsense—as much be side the question of the . Prociamation as the prastt;ng of a sucking babe. General EVANS by hitt proclama tion assumed the right of putting British subjects found in the army of Don CARLOS to death. He derived this assumption of right from the fact that the King of ENGLAND was at war with Don CArtr.os, and, therefore, all Englishmen found fighting in the ranks of the Pretender were rebels. The fact, how ever, upon which the, right of shedding blood is foUnded, has been declared by the Government to be a fiction. The King of ENGLAND—though bound by the articles of the Quadruple Treaty to maintain, in concert with his Allies the Sovereigns of Portugal and France, ISABELLA 11. on the throne of Spain— is not at war with Don CARLOS. If, there fore, General EVANS has issued the Prtl.• clamation in question, he has been guilty of a heinous, two-fold crime—of stating as a fact what he himself, and every man under his command, knew to be a falsehood ; and in making the fact so assumed the basis of a system of cold-blooded, deliberate, wanton, and unnatural butchery. But what is still more in point, even were the King of ENGLAND to declare war against Don CARLOS, General EVANS could not issue such a proclamation, as he holds his commission in the service of the Queen of SPAIN, Under any circumstances, therefore, the execution of a British subject in accordance with the letter of this Proclamation would be murder L—deliberate, preme ditated murder. , So far are we from blaming Sir ROBERT I'EEL for bringing the subject of this Proclamation before Par liament, that we heartily thank him for his promptitude, We care not what may have been his motivev; we care not for the feelings or the sympathies of this or that faction on such a question. AR We look to is the equity or iniquity of the act complained of. Mr. MACNA MARA'S gabble about " retaliation " we dis miss unnoticed, because too absurd for notice. The blood-hound retaliation threatened in the Proclamation had better not be exercised upon British subjects, if the retaliators be not indifferent to the terrors of a gibbet. Of course we admit the possibility of the Proclamation being a forgery. We trust that the Hon. and Gallant Member for Westminster will not lose a moment in proving it to he one. Our principal reason for still doubt-' ing its authenticity rests on the fact that the document was published in Spanish, though ostensibly addressed to the British Legion. Why should General EVANS address a General Order to his men in a language which four-fifths of them do not understand ? The thing appears absurd. Was it then a Carlist trick ? We do not think it was. We are persuaded that COR.• novA was somehow or other at the bottom of it ; and that its object was to sow the seeds of dissension be tween General EVANS and his army, and so pave th e way for his resignation of his command, and his retirement from Spain. The funeral oration of the dead languages previous to, the burial of their remaius, was pronounced in the French Chamber of .Peers on Wednesday last, in the course of a debate on the Budget. The Noble Orator was M. de MOROGUE, who very ingeniously_ proved that the study of Greek and Latin begot a fiendish appetite for King-killing, as the reading of romances did a taste for charcoal suffocations, moonlight plunges in the Seine, bed-Post suspensions by the neck, and a thousand other pranks by which youngsters are enabled to take the start of their seniors in the road to the other world. He maintained that ignorance was the best safeguard of a nation's morality, and that vice and knowledge were synonimous from the days of EVE to the days of FIESCHI and ALI.. BEAUD. The pang felt by the dying eagle on per ceiving that his own feather winged the shaft that slew him, was a stranger to the bosom of the friends of the defunct languages seated within ear-shot of M. de MOROGUE• His Lordship used no argument that literature could detect as stolen from her armoury. In coupling innocence with ignorance, the Chamber cheered' him, as an acknowledgment that, in himself at least, France would find a noble con firmation of so startling a theory. M. de MOROGUR spoke of his opinions respecting the evil of incul cating a knowledge of Latin and Greek as something original. As regards the Noble Orator, we believe this statement tP, be correct.. We have not the slightest dotl;t but that he was unaware that a Pope ad prereded him in a crusade against Greek—and with ittP:nitely less justice on his side, as his Holiness was himself a no indifferent Grecian. We are still without any important news from Spain. Of French domestic intelligence we have none, with the exception of ALIBEAUD'S trial, which will not commence till to-morrow, and the Archbishop of PARIS' pastoral letters PARIS, JULY 5.—A letter from Toulon of the 30th June says—" For some days past the telegraph has been constantly at work. We are assured that the communications relate only to the affairs in which the police is concerned. The day before yesterday, a dispatch brought orders to send the steam boat to Corsica immediately, and it was already at sea an hour afterwards, though it was not to have left the port till to-day."__ A Marseilles paper of June 30 says..."

We hope that great vigi. lance will be employed with respect to the arrivals from Italy."

Wiliam Crawley was capitally indicted for cutting and stabbing Susan, his wife, with intent to murder her. Another count stated the.intent to be to do some grievous bodily harm. It appeared from the evidence that the parties had been mar ried more than twenty years, but about six years since the prisoner was attacked with insanity, and became the inmate of an asylum for lunatics. After his release he went to the place where his wife resided, and made an attack upon her with a clasp-knife, and inflicted several wounds upon her throat, &c. Her screams brought a person to her assistance, who rescued hor from the grasp of the prisoner, who was afterwards with melt difficulty secured. Witnesses were called to prove that the prisoner had been subject to insanity for some years, but had lucid intervals. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, declared' that he was not insane, and said he committed the act when under the influence of violent passion. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence, and the Jury, without hesitation, acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity. Mr. Ju;tiee BOIANQVET expressed his surprise that a person in the condition of the prisoner should have been set at large by those who had the management of the Asylum in which he had been placed for safe custody. The Learned Judge then intimated that the prisoner would be kept in a situation during the remainder of his life where he could not have the power of inflicting such dreadful injuries. The number of petitions presented to the House of Commons in favour of the Lords' amendments in the Irish Corporation 13111 was only three, with 775 signatures ; they came from Taunton, 394; Blackburn, 323 ; and the Union of Athleegue, county Galway, 61. On the other hand, against these amendments there were presented 111 petitions, having 110,654 signatures, an average of all but 1,000 each. HOP INTELLIGENCE.—AII the highly-cultivated grounds are making wonderful progress, but some others, not in such good heart, arc slighlly infested with the flea, and the bine is less 'kindly ; still, upon the whole, great improvements is perceptible. In one ground in Leeds, the bines have topped 22 feet poles, and many other grounds, although not so for ward, are yet highly flourishing. The low and cold lands are not yet sufficiently forward to enable us to pronounce on the probabilities of a crop. Every thing will probably depend on the weather of the next fortnight.—Maidstone Gazette. CONVES.—The season has at length commenced in earnest, and we have had a great many arrivals this week ; but the number of houses built within the last three years is so great as still to offer accommodation to a large extent ; the rent of lodging-houses has also been very much reduced, and the public walks greatly improved. The town Regatta, which is to take place early in August, is likely to be very attractive ; the plan is different to that of former years, which was for yachts only, and afforded but little pleasure to other than " nautical" men. This is so arranged that the whole may be seen from the shore. One boat is to be stationed off. the Vine or Pountain Inns, and another off Egypt. The principal gentlemen and tradesmen of the town have subscribed very liberally to form a fund, and a very efficient Committee has been appointed. Amongst the latest arrivals we have noticed the following noblemen and gentlemen with their families :—The Duke of. Norfolk, the Bishop of Ossory, Lord Deerhurst, Alexander Murray, Captain Blake, ' Lord E. Surrey, Major Murray, Messrs Dyson, A. \V. Corbet, Mar shall, Goddard, Twynam, Kelk, Rhoades, Hughes, James, Barton, J. Weguelin, Wright, Colonel W. H. Beach, the Hon. C. Murray, General Johnstone, Walter Hencage, Esq., H. Robinson, gsq., Doughty, Esq., Mrs. Brown, Lady Ann Murray, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Dacre, Mrs. Heath. PIAASUitE BOAT LOST.—The Rover yawl. rigged pleasure-boat of about five tons, sunk off this port (Yarmouth) on Saturday lithe 2d inst., and the owner the Rev. H. D. Wilder of Reading and his lady were drowned. The Rev. Gent. had just purchased the boat at Southampton, and was going in her to Swanage, at which place he had taken a house for the summer. She was noticed coming don n the Wight, and appeared to be overdone with canvass, when about a mile from Yarmouth ; in attempting to go about, she hung in stays, and before they could get headway on her, she went down stern foremost. It is supposed Mr. Wilder went down with her ; his servant saved himself by holding on the rudder which had unshipped, till taken off by a wherry. Mrs. Wilder's dress floated her on the water till picked up by a mill vessel which went to their assistance ; but though she had ken in the water but from 10 to 15 minutes, all human exertions failed to restore her to life, though three hours were spent in the vain hope. Two children have been thus, by the same unfortunate accident, deprived of both their parents. A reward of ten pounds has been offered for the recovery of the body of the unfortunate gentleman. CHILD STEALING.-- - A melancholy instance of child-stealing occurred about six o'clock on Tuesday evening, the sth inst., in Bethnal-green-road: - A little girl, between nine and ten years of age, having gone out into the road from Wolverly-street, Bethnal-green.road, to look at the balloon, which was then ascending, with an infant seven months old in her arms ) which *he was hired by its parents to nurse, was ac costed by a young woman, and requested to go - into Sebright street, nearly opposite to Wolverly-street, and inquire for a Young woman named Caroiine, who, she stated to the girl, lived about two hundred yards down the street. The wretch gave the poor unsuspecting girl a penny, as on inducement to hasten her upon her errand, and took from her arms the child, promising to remain at the end of Sebright-street until the girl returned. No such person lived or was known at the house to which she was sent, and to her astonishment, when she re turned to the place whence she was sent, the woman had dis appeared, taking with her the infant with which she had been entrusted. •An alarm was immediately raised, and the whole neighbourhood was thrown into the utmost confusion. The father of the infant, who is a journeyman weaver, with a few friends gave information as quickly as possible to the various police stations of the metropolis, but up to this time, with a most restless inquiry and all the vigilance of the police, no tidings can be heard either of the child or the _woman by whom it was stolen. The girl from whom the in fant was taken 'describes the woman as being of a middle stature, wearing a brown stuff bonnet, without cap, and a brown gown ; that she is of a sallow complexion, marked with the small pox, and by appearance under twenty years of age. The mother of the infant is inconsolable for the loss she has sustained, and it is much feared, from the indications she ex hibits, that madness will ensue if her child is not speedily re stored. • TIIE FRENCH BALLET.-" About the year 1779 the contests among the dancers seem to have been a subject of much interest in the Court circles. There was, in fact, an operatic rebellion. ' The Minister,' said Madame Guimard, ' orders me to dance. Very well—only let him take care, for I can make him jump." This sally was told to the King. It is your own fault, gen tl emen ,' o b serve d th e y oun g mo narch : if you regarded them less, the dancers would not be so insolent.' Vestris having made an impertinent answer to M. de Vismes, the latter asked him if he knew to whom he spoke ? 'To whom I speak i' replied the dancer ; to the farmer of my talents.' These disputes rose so high that at length Vestris the younger was ordered into custody. No thing could be more touching, nothing more pathetic, than the parting of the parent and his child. Go, my son,' exclaimed Lou Diou, ' this is the brightest day of your existence ! Take my carriage, and demand the apartments of my friend the King of Poland ! I will pay all expenses.'

The Canada steamer had arrived out, with upwards of one thousand em igrants, generally i n go o d circumstances, The statement laid before the stockholders of the Montreal Bank at their annual meeting, presents a gratifying proof of the prosperity of that rising institution.

The petition alluded to in the first was dispatched in time, as was supposed, to reach its destination, within the period when his Majesty could lawfully disallow the longer continuance in force of the obnoxious Act. The other letter relates to the St. Andrews (New Brunswick) and Quebec Railroad : " Downing-street, April 26. " Sir—l am directed by Lord Glenelg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th instant, in which you state that a petition to the King is in preparation by the merchants of the city of Montreal, praying that the Provincial Act passed in 1834, for regulating contested elections in Lower Ca nada may be disallowed ; and I have to inform you in reply that if the petition alluded to shall be received at this de partment within the time permitted by law for deciding the question, it will not fail to receive the attentive considera tion of his Majesty's Government." The next dispatch, dated Downing-street, 4th May, in respect to the projected line of the railway from St. An drews, in New Brunswick, to the river St. Lawrence, pro poses that a sum of money, not exceeding 10,000/. of the unappropriated revenues of the Crown should be paid to defray the expenses of a survey of the tract of country through which it is proposed that the line should run." " We receive from all quarters of Upper Canada positive intelligence of an extensive re-action in favour of Sir Francis Head, and have every reason to believe that a considerable majority of the next Assembly will be friendly to his admi nistration. The Burrell arrived at Montreal, with 250 emigrants for the estates of the patriotic Earl of Egremont. The emigrants arrived at Quebec up to the 4th of June were 4,909. The corresponding period last year, 2,930—an increase of nearly 3,000. We have received Buenos Ayres Papers to the 17th of April. We extract the following : " It will be seen by the official document, that Government have laid before the House of Representatives the Budget for the current year. The estimate of the expenditure for the ordinary service of the Administration is 8,439,165 dollars, 2 reals ; and that of the Revenue 11,727,446 dollars. There would be a surplus of 3,286,280 dollars 6 reals—the result of the great retrenchments we have from time to time noticed ; but as Government propose paying, in the course of the year, the capital and interest of back debts to the amount of 7,747,240 dollars 2 reals, there will be a deficit of 4,458,959 dollars 2 reals. The ways and means devised to provide for this sum, is the sale of 1,200 square leagues of public land. The return to a metallic currency, seems to be an ob ject constantly held in view in the preparation of all the financial measures of Government, and the means to ren der the transition the least violent appear to engage all that serious attention which that important subject is entitled to. When this desideration is accomplished, and if the ex perience of dr past year is a pledge for the future, we predict that the period is not far distant when it will be realised. The British creditor may confidently indulge the hope of a speedy reimbursement.

REFORM REGISTRY ASSOCIATION OF SCOT is with much pleasure we call the attention of our readers to the formation of a General Reform Association for Scotland, embracing all classes of Reformers, similar to those lately established in England and Ireland. This Association was constituted at a late numerous meeting of Reformers held within the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh, G. M'Pherson Grant, Esq., of Ballindalloch and Invereshie, in the chair. The prime objects of the Society are to secure the centralization of the common efforts of Reformers throughout the country in establishing a vigilant superintendence of the registration of voters, more especially in the counties ; to protect the voter in the fair exercise of his electoral rights ; and, generally, to diffuse sound political information among the people. The General Association will encourage and promote the forma tion of Registry Associations in every district and parish of Scotland, and afford a supply of all the necessary forms and papers connected with the registration of claims. We need not say that an Association of this kind will be of the utmost consequence to the Reform cause, and that it ought to meet with the ready and vigorous support of persons in the Liberal interest in all parts of Scotland.—Scotsman. As a local feature, the mining mania, which is now at its height in these towns and neighbourhood, is singularly characteristic of the adventurous spirit of the time. A perfect rage eirists among all classes for speculating in mines. Not only enterprising monied men are engaged in bringing forth new projects for disembowelling the earth of its treasures, but persons in every condition of life, not excepting the hard working labourer, who can save a few shillings from his wages, have become shareholders in these enticing speculations. Per sons who profess to have some knowledge of the subject have estimated the amount invested in mining within the last six months, by the inhabitants of this port only, at no less than 200,0001. in hard cash ; and we have seen a list of forty-two new mines, or old ones re-established, which have been opened in Devon and Cornwall during that period. Whole swarms of Cornish adventurers arc daily attracted here, bringing with them bundles of scrips, which are actually hawked about the streets in baskets, at prices varying from 20s. to 201., and in many cases without any further recommendation than a specimen" of the soil exhibited at the same time.—Devon port Telegraph. The number of Thames river pilots at present holding licenses as such is 64. The amount received from them by the Trinity House for licenses in the year ending 31st December, 1834, was 2391. Bs. ; and the amount of pound age paid upon their earnings during the same year was 245/. 15s. lid. In the year ending 31st December, 1835, amount received 229/. 19s. ; amount of poundage 2301. 7s. On the lith of May last, the fete of the inspection of brides took Place at Moscow. The young men who wish to take a wife, range themselves in lines on the two side walks of the public promenade, and, for five or six hours, they see, filing off before them, as at a review, the young girls, dressed in their finest apparel, and shining with their natural graces and the brilliancy of diamonds, mixed with flowers. The day following, negotiations are opened with the parents of the young girls that have been remarked. LITERAT (JRE. JE RNINGIIA.II ; 0 1?, eoNSIS TEN T N.-3 vot iM .;. S» tztlt, London, 1836.

" Jerningham" contains many passages of this bene volent cast of thought ; and not a few quaint, turgid periphrases, such as where speaking .of a Baronet's indulging in a hearty laugh, the author tells us, with a pomp only to be equalled by George Robins's most picturesque advertisements, that "be revivified his , dormant risibilities." These are trivial blemishes, perhaps, but they are just as well avoided. DIARY OF A DESENNUYEE. 2 Vols. Colburn, _London, 1836. A lively, slap-dash sort of work, now gay, now se rious, now sarcastic, now maudlin in its sentiment— in short, " every thing by turns and nothing long." It is very much in the " Vivian Grey " school of off hand frivolity, though the author can be sensible enough when he pleases—that is to say, when his coxcotnbry will permit him to be so. With all its faults, how ever—and these are not one, but Legion—We have little doubt that the work will sell. It is an excellent post-chaise and steam-boat companion, and may with case be read within the period which young ladies and young gentlemen usually devote to sitting in chairs on the sands at Ramsgate or Worthing.. GIFFORD' S J UVENA L. Nicholls, London, 1836. A republication, with notes and a memoir, of the late Mr. Gifford's well-known translation of Juvenal's Satires. The volume also contains a linear verbal translation, and a well-written treatise on Latin versifi cation from the pen of Dr. Nuttall, the translator of Horace and Virgil. A portrait of Gifford is prefixed by way of frontispiece to the volume, which forms a very valuable school-book. GERMANY IN 1831. BY JOHN STRANG. Macrone, London, 1836. We have not seen so good a work on Germany as this ; and we have had occasion to peruse a greater number of volumes on the subject of German scenery, German habits, German institutions, and German li terature, than we have now time to enumerate. Mr. Strang, we believe, is a native of Glasgow ; and we have his own authority for stating that his principal object .in visiting Germany was to make the acquaint ance of literary men, and to comprehend more fully the works in that language, with which he was early familiar. His journey was neither lightly undertaken, nor carelessly pursued. He took care before starting to provide himself with numerous intro ductory letters, and the manner in which he availed himself of the opportunities thus afforded him of ar riving at the truth is equally creditable to his judgment, his principles, and his feelings. The hunters after journalized coffee-house gossip, and vulgar scandal, will do well not to open Mr. Strang's book. It is addressed to readers of a very different class. In .a word, it is not what is technically called " a book of the season," but a standard work on the literature, and social in stitutions of Germany—agreeably intermixed with the writer's personal adventures and observations. In the year 1831 he commenced his journey ; but in what particular month we ate left to conjecture. He first proceeded to Hamburg, thence to Berlin and Vienna. The following account of the appearance of the far-famed diplomatist, Prince Metternich, is the only extract for which we can find room in our columns of to-day : " Although I was sufficiently curious about the appearance of the leading personages of the courtly circle, I confess I felt a more intense interest in Prince Metternich than in all the others put together. It is not every day that one comes so closely in contact with a master-spirit of the age ; and I was delighted with the opportunity thus afforded me of examining in repose the features of one of the most remarkable men of modern times. On the first glimpse which I had of the Austrian Prime Minister, I fancied I beheld the Duke of Wellington ; but on a second look, I discovered that his`face was fuller and much less sharp and haggard than that of the hero of Waterloo. There is, however, a very singular resem blance in the great lines and character of their faces—the con tour of the visage is the same in each : the expression about the mouth is' not unlike ; while the self-complaisance which plays on both countenances, indicating a feeling of conscious superiority, is remarkably similar. With .so near a resem blance of - face, perhaps it is not remarkable that their political feelings should be so much akin ; and, if we be permitted to quote Lavatar as an authority, it is not at all surprising to find that features, which arc hourly affected with the sentiment that mankind ought still to be ruled by the same engine which ambition, bigotry, and heartlessness invented, should come within the prescribed limits of the similarity which that inge nious but fanciful author assigns to brother characters. " Prince Metternich is taller than his English brother politi cian, and walks erect, with a cool and deliberate step. The impression made by his appearance is highly favourable, as be has altogether a handsome face and a g raceful p erson. To those whom he addressed, he seemed particularly affable; and although it struck me that there was a constant under-current of thought going on in his mind, he showed wonderfnl tact in the distribution of these personal courtesies, having a word in season for all who crossed his path. The Prince was at tired very much like an Englishman. He sported a black coat and nankeen trowsers, a black silk stock and a white hat. " The skill with which this arch-political juggler pulls the wires which direct the imperial puppets of Austrian diplomacy is almost proverbial. Proofs of his diplomatic capabilities are to be had daily. For instance, at the public promenade, which takes place about five o'clock in the afternoon, along the beautiful valley of St. Helena, whither the crowd of fa shionables proceed in carriages, I remarked the Prince, at one moment strolling forth_ with his newly married bride (this is his third); at another, arm in arm with the French Ambas sador, Marshal Maison, who, though an honest John Bull looking personage, has a countenance which at once tells you that he, at least, will not be the first to bring disgrace on the high diplomatic character of his nation. Next, I observed him pouring a joke into the laughing face of the Spanish Minister ; and anon, familiarly communicating with our highly respected Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Forbes, who, since the 'de parture of Lord Cowley, has had on his shoulders the-whole weight of British interests connected with the diplomacy of Austria. To crown all, I observed him iharnediately after wards in close consultation with the Russian Ambassador, whose hand he cordially shook, anxious, no doubt, to extract from the wily politician what his master at that moment thought of Holland. " No one, indeed, who watched Metternich's movemcnta with the attention that I did, during the whole of last Sunday—in the church attending mass—in the streets with the King--in the park—at the evening promenade--at the theatre—and also at a ball (of which more anon),---for he was everywhere to be seen,—could have failed in be convinced of the great natural tact of the Minister, and bis peculiar capacity for playing the important part which enables him to regulate the affairs of Europe, and to support a despotic system opposed to public abhorrent to the feelings of the age., Metternich, hov.tr.fnlc,, jc loitunate in this respect—that the Germans are not ill to r-oitsini since he can always calculate on the loyalty of the inhabitant.! 4 of Austria Proper, whose wants are most croAfully attended to, at the expense of the larger and mor e di3tant ap : P4,ntages of the empire.

If the future Numbers of this work are equal to the present, we will venture to say that it will become, ere long, as popular as tho best of Finden's landscape engravings. A deputation, consisting of Mr. Mark Philips, M.P. for Manchester; Mr. Ewart, of Liverpool; Mr. Brotherton, of Pafford ; Mr. Brocklehurat, of Macclesfield; Mr. Ains worth, of B‘olton ; Mr. Potter, of Wigan ; Mr. Fielden, of Oldham ; Mr. Lister, of Bradford ; and Colonel Thompson, of Kingston-upon-Hull; had an interview with Lord John Russell, by appointment, at the Home Office, yesterday, at four ce'elosds, to present addresses relative to the amendments now before Parliament on the subject of the new beer trade. The deputation was also accompanied by Mr. J. Bishop, Secretary of the London beersellers; Mr. Joshua Green, delegate from the beersellers of Liverpool ; Mr. T. Oates, from the Man chesief and the North of England beersellers; and Mr. Lindsay, fffrrA. the Surrey retailers. His Lordship received the deputation" most favourably, and after Mr. Mark Philips and the several o :her members had addressed his Lordship upon the present sit:a tat in of the trade, and enforced the views of the deputation, n which remarks they were followed Mr. J . C a reen, and Mr. Oates, his Lord by Mr. J. Vishop, ship said he had made inquiries upon the subject, and at once admitted the propriety and m asonableness of the demands. Before the interview had eoneluded it was announced to those present that the House pf Commons had been counted olt. HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS.--The following very gratifying announcement on the sub.;ect of the genera health of the metropolis, was made in the Report at the quarterly meeting of the Free Hospital,. Gra-Ole-street, os Tuesday night, attested by the signatures of tine three sur geons, Messrs. Wm. Marsden, G. Jones, and Gay : u The medical officers congratulate the governors and the public on the fact of the metropolis having hitherto bee' quite free from any epidemic diseases, and more generally hoolthy during the present year than for many years past." The General Steam Navigation Company's Packet, the Attwood, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom house this morning. The Pilote de Calvados affords us the following amusing anecdote :—" An old officer of rank died lately in the canton of Harcourt, bequeathing a large fortune to his nephew, on condition that he married within twelve months, but not a young lady to whom he was known by the testator to be attached. The year was drawing near to a conclusion, when the nephew took the expedient of marrying an old wo man of eighty-five, with whom he, of course, does not coha bit, but whose poverty he has converted into comparative a u ence. The two lovers arc waiting anxiously for the death of the good old woman. AEROSTATION.—A balloon is being constructed under the direction of Mr. Green, of such dimensions as to be capable car carrying ten persons. The gores of silk by which it will be formed are near 100 feet in length, the centre being about eve feet in width, and verging at the ex tremity to nearly a point. When finished, the balloon will be about 70 feet high. It is made of the best manufactured silk ; the seams of the ed g es when joined together being first cemented by a solution of liolia rubber, prepared 'by Mr. Green himself, and, to give a dditional strength, are firmly sewn together, about which several women are at present em ployed in Vauxhall Gardens. The net which will surround it weighs 300 weight, while the whole apparatus, including net, but without gas, ballast, or passengers, will weigh about seven hundred. The gas will weigh about 2,0Q0155. The machine will be completed in the course of a f.?W weeks, when it is intended to afford the people i of England an opportu nity of witnessing the progress of the art of aerostation, when the balloon will ascend from Vauxhall Gardens. A clerk in the 'War-office at St. Petersburgh has lately been tried by a court-martial for an assault, with intent to commit murder, upon Councillor Aprejelew. It appeared that having a deep-rooted enmity to the Councillor, Nicholas Pawloff formed the project of stabbing his enemy on the day of his marriage, and, to accomplish it, waited for him at the church door, and, upon his coming out with his bride, plunged a dagger into his body. The wound happily was not mortal, and the Councillor soon recovered. The Court sentenced Pawloff to be degraded from his rank and nobility, to have his sword broken over his head in a public place, and to be sent to hard labour in Siberia. Mr. Haylis, one of the oldest freemen of the city of London and belonging to the Grocers' Company, was thrown from his gig a few days since, near Portsmouth, dashed against is tree, and killed on the spot. He was nearly eighty-five. It vras remarkable, that a few days prior a gentleman said to him " if he continued to drive the pony . he then had, it would some day break his neck." The following resolution was unanimously passed on Tuesday evening, at a numerous meeting of the South Lambeth Division of the Borough of Lambeth Reform As sociation :--" Resolved—lt is the opinion of this meeting, that a Reform of the House of Lords is absolutely necessary for the salvation and prosperity of this country." The Post-masters are suffering to an enormous ex tent from a very prevalent disease in the n ature of influenza amongst their horses especially in the southern districts of England. At Hounslow some masters have as many as 16 or 18 horses ill in their stables. The disease is pf about six weeks' standing, the earliest time for a cure. The heat of the weather on the 2d of this month had had a bad effect on the health of the soldiers who had arrived from Delft. Several of the men fainted, and two, not receiving relief in time, died. Several were obliged to he left behind on the road from Delft to Rotterdam.—Dutch Papers. LOVE AND SUICIDE. ---A gentleman, aged 32, receiver of the register duties at Aux-le-Chateau, in the Pas de-Calais, a few days since, came to Paris to celebrate a mar beautiful, and amiable lady, which had riage with a young , been projected by the two families, though the parties most interested had never seen each other, On his arrival the ex pectant bridegroom hastened to the house of his intended, and was received with so much kindness 'by her and her friends, that he returned to his hotel almost intoxicated with hopes of future bliss. The impression he male upon the young lady, was not, however, so favourable, and the following morning her father waited upon the aspirant to her hand, and at once destroyed all his anticipations of happiness by informing hint the young lady declined his suit, as she felt that she was as yet too young to marry. Though the communication was made with the utmost delicacy, and with expressions of the regrets of the father and his family, and their hopes that the union might take place on n future day, the blow was too severe to having hung him be borne, a nd th e re j ec t e d l over , within half an hour after the fatal message, was found dead in his room , self by a napkin to the door of his dressing-closet. He was the only son of a widow, and would have inricrited a fortune of 300,0001. at the death of his mother.—French Paper.
